Preaching is the expression of the moral sentiment in application to the duties of life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Preaching is personal counseling on a group basis.
The object of preaching is to constantly remind mankind of what they keep forgetting; not to supply the intellect, but to fortify the feebleness of human resolutions.
Vastly more important than all questions with regard to methods of preaching is the root question as to what it is that shall be preached.
Effective preaching starts with loving the people we're preaching to.
Mere heathen morality, and not Jesus Christ, is preached in most of our churches.
When I teach, I preach. I thump the Bible. I exhort my students morally. I talk to them about the dedicated life.
Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of the preacher, but because of God.
What we call 'morals' is simply blind obedience to words of command.
Preaching is the most original thing I've ever done. There's nothing familiar about it. You have to be brave.
Preaching is God's great institution for the planting and maturing of spiritual life. When properly executed, its benefits are untold; when wrongly executed, no evil can exceed its damaging results.
